Hands behind my back I'll let you wind up, cut down everything I know
Anger speaks a language of its own
You wish you could speak You broke a vow, I told you things would be all right
Believe with me and I'll believe in you
You walked with me that night, and told me everything that you have ever feared
I replied "I never thought you cared"
All these words I've spoken proves you never heard a single word I said
I know now you never trusted me
I'm sorry It's over I'm perfect in your mind
I'm sorry It's over I'm (only) perfect in your mind
Hold me up for your sake and I promise you that I will let you down
Consequences scarred this beating heart
Forced beneath the ground, I laid inside your arms, "never break my heart again"
"Expectations" on the radio
Do I have to let you go, I sang as I could barely see your face
But you wonder how you can be loved
I don't know if i can get it perfect but I'll choose to be alone
Promises I spoke to you that day
I'm sorry It's over I'm perfect in your mind
I'm sorry It's over I'm (only) perfect in your mind
Don't you know that everybody wants to be saved (why would I be any different)
Make me make a promise Your love, you wouldn't let me keep it

Fight your way against these words and picture me afraid of fate
You'd drop at what I'd have to say, and I'd drop if you agreed
Everyday I'm crushed like my(crush)
Fight your way upstairs, where you can finally get some rest,
today you are crushed by your(crutch)
So can I waste your time with words of inspiration, I've fallen short
Start to look at all in luxury and not necessity cause
Here are all the colors you could never imagine
And all the things you took for granted,
can be found here (where you'd least expect it)
One last song to end the night finding last resorts to keep you here
Find your wish but leave the mark and I swear to you you'll feel no pain
Subdue temptation for privilege, it's a whisper in my ear
I'm so(tired)
A smile to bring fear to your words in a time when you lay fast awake,
understanding in my ways
Forfeit silhouettes and watch the sun embrace the sky
'Good mornings' engage these goodbyes

Tell me, all you're thinking.
Knowing I see the mask and all the wounds.
Help me, to see clearly.
There's nothing on your mind that I can't grasp.
All my life is old...I'm getting through.
I tried to explain, dear,
The fallacy of this life may be your fears.
Truth is, I'll hold your sin.
knowing that it's the way that you'll see love.
All my life is old...I'm getting through.
I knew you when you cried a memory of the life that you believed.
Daughter, there's so much that I wish I coulda said...another time.

I wanted forgiveness, but found an excuse instead
I was left waiting
I'm finding it hard to sleep without this shape
It's weighing on me
I slam into the wall
Running after you
Chasing Butterflies
If you would have told me this isn't who I am
I would have listened
I'm still finding it hard to live without this shame
It's weighing on me
I slam into the wall
Running after you
Chasing butterflies
Chasing butterflies
Chasing butterflies

You're forgetting a conversation with yourself, stop speaking and listen for a time or two.
There's a night of a clear conscience on your side, ever wonder why you have a choice to choose.
When kingdoms keep you up at night, and always make you miss the daylight.
Stare the ceiling down with words of no regard. Anger speaks a language of its own.
It's all for you...I'll waste my time tonight.
Manage to speak decide what's on your mind, every look you share reveals a world to me.
You seem to remember things that can't be changed, simple timing proves I'll wait till all is dealt.
When kingdoms keep you up at night, and always make you miss the daylight.
Stare the ceiling down with words of no regard, when anger speaks a language of its own.
It's all for you...I'll waste my time tonight.
You call it infection, I call it a will to change.
Your heart stops when all the time you've had the cure.
Did my presence make it alright for your words.
Damage done. I'll close my eyes and sleep in peace.

It's been a while, we've cleared it out...
and I'm finding this surreal. It's just what I may need.
I'll shut my mouth if you dare a smile.
I see the world in you, searching for the truth.
Don't turn your chair or find another,
I'm turning this around from what you thought of me.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
One more drink and I'll walk you home.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
One more drink and I'll walk you home.
Sing the song, I've heard it before.
This muse is wearing thin and I'm holding out the key.
Smash the wall you're selling to me.
Doesn't matter anyway, I'll find the missing piece.
Don't shut me out, this night's not over.
I'd miss the chance we had. What if I'm right and you're wrong.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
One more drink and I'll walk you home.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
One more drink and I'll walk you home.
I guess it's true what they say.
(You're) finding one excuse to the next.
Maybe it's overdone.
Maybe you've heard this all before.
But I'll try to get through to you...anyway, tonight, somehow...
And maybe the sky is brighter at night.
Orion seems to haunt me tonight.
Orion seems to haunt me tonight.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
One more drink and I'll walk you home.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
Don't go nightowl.
One more drink and I'll walk you home.
I guess it's true what they say.
I guess this was over before it began.

One More Song (Acoustic)

All the songs and all the hope was written down long before I 'knew' you.
Figuring out just where to go. It's anywhere, but sad to say without you.
Doesn't that make you a liar?
I can't be all that you need.
Goodbye she said as she walked out the door.
I can't be all this for you.
Goodbye she said as her heart hit the floor.
I forgot all that I knew and who I was. I've paid the price for my pride.
Turned it around to see what's left, I looked for your hand. I drowned but fought hard for you.
Doesn't that make you a liar?
I can't be all that you need.
Goodbye she said as she walked out the door.
I can't be all this for you.
Goodbye she said as her heart hit the floor.
One last night
One more drink
One last kiss
One more song
Maybe I got what I deserved, I'll live with that too. I thought I'd make me stronger.
Doesn't that make you a liar?
I can't be all that you need.
Goodbye she said as she walked out the door.
I can't be all this for you
Goodbye she said as my heart hit the floor.

Trust me, I've heard all the stories of a past life.
Let me guess, I'll call it.
When you fell you felt "the whole world fall apart."
But one day you'll claim it,
showing all the others all the different patterns of your eyes
And I once said, "This is my life" when I heard my name.
But we all drink our own poisons at different speeds.
I've heard you're heart isn't in it for the long run.
Then you found the day the past forgave you, but it took your eyes some time.
Saving all the pieces that you held when you thought your heart would bend, and bend...and break.
But we all say, "This is my life" when we hear our names.
But we all drink our own poisons at different speeds.
You're afraid to face the shame, but I'm afraid to face the day.
So who am I to tell you how to live?
I refuse to believe that the tears of a stranger are just water.
(Believe me) it's good advice .

Faded marks and worn blue eyes
A wrinkled past that's sacrificed it all for her pride
A hardened heart and a blurred disguise
Curse the stars and tell the tears it's fine, I'll be all right
I know what's right and what's wrong
She saw every bright day as the calm before the storm
And marked the walls with heartache, wishing I would mourn
You've felt the grip around this time
Slip the noose and find your piece of mindit's all you've got
Silence stalled as time stood still
A thousand tones inside your head tonight Just spare yourself
I know what's right and what's wrong
She saw every bright day as the calm before the storm
And marked the walls with heartache, wishing I would mourn
She saw every bright day as the calm before the storm
And marked the walls with heartache, wishing I would mourn

Keeping in line with what I'm known for, the defeated sigh of a false disguise.
I'll explain this fear and fault of mine. Mercy fell on you, who came too close.
Sacrificed to the eyes of circumstance.
I fear that I've said too much.
I've felt it all this time (for what it's worth when.)
I'm feeling wrong this time (it's what I asked for.)
Figuring out just what I'm worth, when I'm fearing the taunts that come at night.
I've buried the burden so deep inside. One day you will surely say 'goodbye.'
In my mind, I've lost the fight.
Watch the flames, I swear this will burn me alive.
I've felt it all this time (for what it's worth when.)
I'm feeling wrong this time (it's what I asked for.)
Running out on everything I wish for when I see years of disappointment on you (it's what I asked for.)
Angles of excuses for you. All I have is this "everything without anything."
I've felt it all this time (for what it's worth when.)
I'm feeling wrong this time (it's what I asked for.)
I. Well, I tried,
to explain this fear and fault of mine.
Mercy fell on you who came too close.
